With the track seemingly sorted and close racing returning to Wimborne Rd, the value of the club should have soared to something over four figures. What's going on? £10-00 still expensive tho 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
woofers 467 Posted August 2, 2019 13 hours ago, mikebv said: I think you would be surprised just how important EVERY sponsor is to balance the books... Attendances alone at the vast majority of tracks simply don't cover the costs.. And good crowds sometimes only go to offset the poor ones (how much did Poole lose in the Ipswich match alone, was it over £20k that was quoted..).. Hopefully all recouped last night, but it shows that getting weekly (guaranteed) sponsors money, means a constant income stream, which supports the club when the fanbase can fluctuate so wildly week on week.. Indeed, I see that the accounts for Poole Speedway for the year ended Feb 2019 are now on Companies House. Capital & Reserves down from £76.9k to £40.4k, so not a good 2018?

rusky 113 Posted August 3, 2019 With a change of main sponsors possible, it seems like the decision to go with race jackets rather than race suits was a prudent one.... 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Like showing Brighton v Crystal Palace and not televising Man City v Liverpool. We're all well aware that you have at least one crystal ball, but give BT a break. They obviously have to set their schedule well ahead of time and they can't have Poole on every week even if it feels like they do sometimes. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
